![]() ![]() While we attempt to cover the basic mechanics of file translation, there are so many dialects and nuances of DXF and DWG, that only experience will allow for smooth translations, and imperfection is inherent to the process. As a result, as with any translation, importing and exporting via these ÔuniversalÕ formats is imperfect at best, and results can be quite variable, depending on the version of a drawingÕs native application. In addition, features of one software platform (such as MiniCad or VectorWorks) are not necessarily implemented on another (such as AutoCAD). What we should stress first and foremost is that DWG and DXF (the former in particular) are proprietary formats and subject to change over time. We highly recommend for further reading the article by Dave Weber, DXF Made Easy, available at: Although WeberÕs article was written at the time of MiniCad 6, it is nonetheless thorough, informative, and useful. Importing and Exporting DWG and DXF in MiniCad and VectorWorks Introduction The following is based on our common experience and MiniCad 7 and VectorWorks manuals (MiniCad and VectorWorks are products of Diehl Graphsoft, Inc.). ![]()
